"Backlighting, Yes!"Whereas the last artwork fought back and took forever, this one just flowed out. I love it when that happens! For the Apps students, there's a lot of Camera 360, a bit of Percolator, some Tangle, and bits of a few others, and Photoshop to bring it together.

"BREAKERS"Finished ArtworkThis is the final winner from the Round One Cabbage Contenders. I was expecting this image to develop very smoothly to it's finished state, but for some reason it was a real battle. I was not satisfied with the lower purple leaves, and could not get them to cooperate. I finally had to build them from another leaf source. Can you figure out which one?

"Unfolding"The second Cabbage Art & Scarf Invitational finished artwork, from the 1st Round winners. This one went back and forth several times between pale colors and stronger colors. Should make a great scarf!Used:Camera 360iColoramaTanglePercolatorPaper CameraiPhotoPhotoshop

KICKSTARTER INTRODUCTORY VIDEOProduced by John Franzen, this introductory video actually manages to make me sound articulate, and I think does a fine job of explaining the project. Many thanks to John for all the hard work involved.

The Royal Court of Blue Whimsies'

The Royal Court of Blue Whimsies

After finishing "Whitecaps", I decided that the little blue spot nearly in the middle would make a great eye, and I couldn't help myself, I just had to make some "Whimsies" with it. Among others, out came this royal court of characters.Meet the King, Queen, Princess, (she even has a tiara!), the Court jester, and the Grand Vizier!

"Whitecaps"Based on one of the three Cabbage Elimination Round One winners, ("Blue Divide"), this image used parts of four different photos, eight or ten programs, and LOTS of time.This part is the reason why I'm doing my Kickstarter project - I get to do the artwork! Still, it always takes longer than I think it will. I do have a tendency to get way too involved in the details, which I am forever warning my students about.
